“Should I sell my Knoxville home?”
This is something Knoxville sellers wonder time and time again. They wonder if the market is right, if they’re emotionally ready to sell their home, and if financially it makes the most sense.
You’re Way Off On Price
You may not be ready to sell your home if you’re not willing to price it properly. When you sell your home, the first few weeks on the market is when your home will get the most attention. This is why price is so critical when you sell your home. If you don’t price it right from the start, your home could spend countless months on the market and you could end up having to drop the price lower in order to get it sold.
If you’ve spoken with a realtor and don’t agree with their price, you may want to think before listing your home, especially when a realtor is providing you with enough documentation that supports the price. When you sell your home, you want to be serious about it. This will save you a lot of time and money. If you can’t truly wrap your head around pricing your home right, you may want to hold off on listing your home.
You’re Not Ready To Let Go
Most homeowners have some emotional attachment to their homes. You’ve spent holidays and birthdays there. You’ve poured time and money into making it a place that you truly love. You have memories with loved ones and friends there. This is why it can be hard for some homeowners to part with their homes. When you’re not quite ready to let go, you may want to wait a bit before listing your home.
People decide to sell their home for many reasons. Maybe the kids have moved out or you spouse has passed away. Or, that the home has just become a bit more than you want to manage. Regardless of why you may want to sell, there can still be emotions holding you back from doing so.
When there are too many emotions involved, they can sometimes cloud your judgment and trip you up as you try to sell your home.
You Don’t Know Where You’ll Go Next
Finally, when you think about selling your home, be sure you have a plan in place for where you will go next. You may find that in a seller’s market, your home sells quicker than you plan, so it’s important that you know where you go next.
Before listing your home, it’s important to have a plan in place so you’re not left scrambling. Whether it’s finding another home in Knoxville or temporarily renting a place, knowing where you land will provide you with peace of mind.
With inventory so low, sellers are seeing their houses go quickly. Before you list, have an idea of where you’ll go next.
